McKenna's Wagon- Everyone is invited on the first Sunday of every month to make sandwiches for homeless persons beginning at 9:00am. These sandwiches are then delivered to McKenna's Wagon at Martha's Table for distribution to homeless persons throughout the Washington metropolitan area. Help us put food in the hands of the hungry! Prayer Team- This group receives regular requests from people in our community to pray for specific requests. Anyone who feels called to pray can be part of this team. Prayer requests may be sent to the Prayer Team. Interest in being part of the team may be expressed to Linda Patterson.
